by Kim Leyendecker 06 May '11

Dear all! I created a countdown for the release of 12.1 M1 on Facebook. See on my profile: http://www.facebook.com/kim.leyendecker (I can´t send a link to the countdown, it forwards me to the app I created the countdown with.) Maybe we should create one with the app via our facebook-page too? thanks kdl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Oops, probably should have sent this to marketing. Having dug through the artwork repo, I do like the all in one flyer...

[opensuse-marketing] Thoughts on openSUSE Conference Name
by Bryen M. Yunashko 06 May '11

06 May '11

Folks, I'm sending this to both the marketing and artwork mailing lists as an action item from the openSUSE Conference Program Committee's last meeting. In a nutshell, we have two names proposed for the Conference: "Collaboration Across Borders II" and "rwxrwxrwx" (or rwx3) which is a play on the read-write-execute permissions of the Linux file systems. While the Program Committee will ultimately choose which one to select, we felt it was fair to talk to both the marketing and artwork teams to hear which ones you consider more feasible for marketability. To the Marketing Team: Think about what would be the pros and cons of marketing the conference for each of the names. For the artwork team: Think about the potential designs you could work with for each name. E.g. t-shirts, posters, banners. You can even do mockups if you wish, but please don't spend a lot of time making up design proposals because I wouldn't want to see your work go to waste if we go a different way. You can read my thoughts on the naming choices for some personal insight on my blog at http://www.bryen.com/whats-in-a-name/. And I would suggest also reading Yaloki's summary (and meeting log) to get a fuller idea of our own pros and cons for each name. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2011-04/msg00333.html I'll gather up your thoughts and concerns and present them to the team at our next meeting this Thursday. Thanks teams! Bryen M Yunashko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Who deploys/admins this Marketing List?
by Tony Su 02 May '11

02 May '11

Am just a bit tired of the "Reply To" misconfiguration for this Mail List, would like to contact whoever is the Admin to assist in fixing. Clicking "Reply" should not point to the original individual, it should point to the Mail List. It's been a long while since I've run into this problem which is simple to fix, IIRC I last ran into this because it was the default configuration for the very popular Mailman app. The other time it was even longer ago on a Yahoo mail list...

[opensuse-marketing] New URLs for Marketing
by Bryen M. Yunashko 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hey folks, We have some useful redirects on our wiki that we should be aware of for marketing purposes. opensuse.org/Upgrade (You already know this one) opensuse.org/Communication redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels opensuse.org/Ambassadors redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:/Ambassadors_list opensuse.org/GNOME3 redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 All of these redirects should be used instead of the full length URL when using in print (e.g. flyers, brochures, posters, etc.) because they will look cleaner. Enjoy! Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
